"I knew Mark Twain. Twain was a friend of mine. And you know what NicknamedBob? You’re no Mark Twain!!!!"

I might be a little bit like Mark Twain. Sam Clemens met a fellow named Tom Sawyer, who was a dynamic individual, a real-life hero, and just an all-round hell of a fellow.

So when Sam needed a real charismatic character for a novel, he ended up immortalizing Tom Sawyer, even more so than Tom had done for himself.

Now, I haven't met anyone quite like that, but I wrote a book last year about a young fellow named Tim, who was a very interesting person as well.

So I might be a little like Mark Twain. I can recognize a character when I meet him!

I wrote a book once.

Wow! I just wrote a book again.

If I keep writing a book at this rate, I’ll have a library.
